Configure the download list for remotes using the Fisher ROC/ROC Plus protocol

Before you begin

Configure the fields on the Main tab in the dnlist Row Edit dialog box as outlined in Dnlist Row Edit: Main Tab.

To configure the download list for remotes using the Fisher Remote Operations Controller (ROC)/Fisher Remote Operations Controller (ROC) Plus protocol

1. On the Main tab in the dnlist Row Edit dialog box, select Configure Download List.

   The Download List Configuration dialog box opens.

   

2. In the Communication Protocol field, select ROC.

   The Download List Configuration dialog box updates with fields specific to the Fisher ROC/ROC Plus protocol.

   

3. In the # Points to download field, select select the number of points contained in the list you want to download to the RTU.

   Additional rows appear in the Point section to match the selected number of points.

   

4. In the Database Path field, enter or select the path to the field you want to write to the RTU.

5. In the Data Type field, select the name of the protocol-specific data type for the corresponding field.

6. In the RTU Coordinate field, enter the coordinates in the following format:

   <Type>:<Logical_num>:<Param_num>

   Where:

   • <Type> = 4 for ROC, or 104 for ROC Plus.

   • <Logical_num> = the logical number location for the numerical value.

   • <Param_num> = the parameter number as follows:

     Type 4 (ROC)		Type 104 (ROC Plus)
     Byte	7 or 10	Byte	2 to 7
     Boolean	7 or 10	Boolean	2 to 7
     16 int	2 or 3	16 int	8 or 9
     Float	4 to 6	Float	10 to 16

7. Repeat the three steps immediately above for all points belonging to the download list.
